ARSA  
ARSA  does not apply rules of origin, because rules of 
origin are the criteria needed to determine the national 
source of a product. Their importance is derived from 
the fact that duties and restrictions applied to imports 
can vary according to the origin of th e product being 
imported, for the purposes of tariff classification.  The following legislation is applicable:
